These people paint anything in almost any color. Pretty cool stuff. Though it's $50 to get your iPod painted purple, so I can only imagine what some of the other stuff costs.

Awesome stuff. 👍 Yoshi on The Screen Savers did a segment on them sometime ago and got his iPod painted "Ferrari." They sent in an Xbox, GameCube, and Ps2 as weel for teh segment. Amazing stuff.

I love their high-def shots.

How hard is it to paint something like that by yourself.

Yeah, I'd like linkage to any basic instructions too (for painting and polishing plastic stuff). I really want to have a black phone, and mine is looking ugly with the paint peeling off.

Well, I would assume their paint jobs are of the quality of car paint, so it would be difficult to match that. However, a can of modeler's paint and a little time disassembling the unit and you could save yourself quite a lot of cash.

Funny you should mention this, considering the Black U2 iPod announcement today.

Yeah, it was linked on slashdot where I got the ColorWare link in a comment.

Awesome. Thank you.

No problem. I think they're very well described, in-depth, writeups that need to be shared.
